FEL bucket sticking open

[simmysam3]

Tym 330 HST - stock FEL controls / joystick.

When I open the bucket and release it sticks open, does not spring back as it used to. Bucket keeps going to open - rolling back in toward tractor.

Took off boot on joystick, everthing looks intact for the actual joystick, its just not recovering/releasing when let go. I can pull it back in with intention, so cylinder is moving both directions, and will stop when pulled back to center. Its like the spring back from the actual valve is not happening - so operations work just has become very awkward to control.

Thoughts on what is going on here?

Pull the cap on the opposite side of the joystick on the valve on the spool that controls the bucket and check it. It could be moisture and rust on the spring causing it to not work right or even just a broken spring or circlip.

Try oiling it. Moving parts need lubrication.

I would be called "Snickety" for saying something like that.

Do this and see if you dont find a broken spring or some crud in the can.
